this is a used preowned paperback book copy of marvels dragonslayer,a graphic novel.the boggest defect i woul say is the book is kinked if you will from having another book or two placed on top of it for a period of time.anyway there is other.wear on this book.both the front and back covers have scuffs,scratches,nicks and dings along with some fading and stains.there is a crease on the front cover,top right hand corner area and also a green price sticker as well.edge and corner wear is evident along with a few dings around the edges as well.there is also some spotting on both the covers.the outside page edges have some yellowing,edge and corner wear and a little finger grime.the inside of both the front and back covers have some yellowing,staining and spotting.the pages themselves have some yellowing,around the outside edges in particular,a little spotting and some slight finger grime.i do not see any thumbing through creases to speak of.as stated before this is a preowned used graphic novel.thank you for looking at this listing.
